Using Meta Tags
Description, Keywords and Authors
<META NAME="Description" Content="Your web page description">
<META NAME="Keywords" Content="Your web page keywords">
<META NAME="Authors" Content="Celticweb">
Meta Tags For Robots
To index or not to index:
<META NAME="Robots" Content="noindex, nofollow">
Or the reverse:
<META NAME="Robots" Content="index, follow">
You should also have a "robots.txt" to help make sure these tags are obeyed.
Client-pull tags
To make a page automatically refresh or jump to another page you use a "client-pull" meta tag. You would make the page refresh itself after a specified period if it was being periodically updated, like stock quotes or sports results. In this tag you specify the number of seconds for the refresh and also the destination:
You can make a page refresh itself as follows:
<META httpequiv="Refresh" Content="60">
or you can force the client to pull another page or to redirect to a different page after a certain amount of time - you have to specify its URL or address:
<META httpequiv="Refresh" Content="60" URL="http://www.celticweb.com/page2.html">
In this case we're redirected to the http://www.celticweb.com/page2.html after 60 seconds. This could conceivably be used for a web slide show!
